Like, really tiny.<br \/>\nIn just 2.1 x 2.1 square miles, they pack in 3,200 students across three elementary schools, one middle school, and a high school.<br \/>\nLocated smack in the middle of a suburban community about 20 minutes south of Detroit, MI, the schools are some of the district\u2019s only distinguishing features. Riverview\u2019s Director of Curriculum, Innovation and Grants Jason Gribble says that, besides a few parks and a city hall, it\u2019s mostly family homes that populate the area.<br \/>\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have a downtown, we\u2019re a nesting community. A lot of the people have been here forever, or they\u2019ve moved back to the community after graduating from college elsewhere. A lot of our staff are alumni of these schools. We\u2019re very committed to our community.\u201d<br \/>\nThe district doesn\u2019t let its size get in the way of opportunities for its students. With the No Child Left Behind and Every Student Succeeds acts underpinning their work to prepare for successful futures, they also run a robust career and technical education (CTE) program.<br \/>\n\u201cOur community is really devoted to college readiness, but in recent years we\u2019ve started to pick up on the idea of career readiness. As a district, we try to promote as much CTE as possible,\u201d said Jason.<br \/>\nThe district is in a consortium with eight neighboring districts that work together to provide CTE programs for high school students, everything from culinary arts to welding to auto mechanics, dental hygiene, and more.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be in this consortium to share the wealth and meet the needs of students. This year we\u2019ve partnered with a local community college to provide an HVAC program. They host it for us because they have the equipment and facilities. It works well for them because they don\u2019t have enough students to run the program on their own,\u201d said Jason.<br \/>\nFor students who are more academically inclined, Riverview offers a dual enrollment college program. In their junior year, students can opt to take college courses instead of AP courses. Students are even sent to local community colleges for some subjects, which are then transferable. \u201cIf they get on that dual enrolment track, they have the opportunity to almost have their associate degree done.<br \/>\n\u201cSome students walk across the stage to get their high school diploma as well as an associate degree with the local community college. That means they\u2019ve got their prerequisites done before walking onto campus of a major university. It\u2019s a huge advantage,\u201d said Jason.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Does College and Career Readiness Fit in?<\/h3>\n<p>With a district rife with opportunities, it\u2019s important that students are tuned into their own interests and strengths to understand whether the CTE, dual enrollment, or regular school program is right for them.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s why there\u2019s a strong emphasis on college and career readiness, beginning at Seitz Middle School. Although the district was using another EdTech program for a few years, the school counselors began lobbying for a switch to Xello prior to the 2018\/19 school year.<br \/>\n\u201cOur counselors were the driving force behind [the change to Xello]. They came to us and said, \u2018We like this tool better than what we were using. We\u2019d heard a lot of feedback from our neighboring districts who use Xello too.\u2019 They liked that our student management system integrated really well with the program,\u201d said Jason.<\/p>\n<h3>A Ground-Level View of the Switch to Xello<\/h3>\n<p>One of Xello\u2019s biggest proponents is Nanette Gribble, one of two counselors at Seitz Middle School. She\u2019s also Jason\u2019s wife.<br \/>\nShe and her colleague Bonnie Lopez became enthusiastic about making the switch to Xello after attending training across the state. After seeing the features, they were immediately interested. \u201cBonnie and I looked at each other and said, \u2018We need to look into this further,\u2019\u201d said Nanette.<br \/>\n\u201cWe knew Xello would be extremely user friendly for us and our [Grade 6-8 students].\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The transition process was smooth and easy. We got great training and we all know we can reach out and have any questions answered quickly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They noted that the EdTech program they had previously been using was tricky to navigate. Students and faculty alike were challenged to find the resources and reports they needed. They officially made the change in the 2018\/19 school year.<br \/>\n\u201cWith Xello, [the site] is broken down into educator vs. students [functions] on the website and is very user-friendly for reports and key word searches. We tend to find whatever we need. If not, we can chat with tech support and they\u2019re very responsive,\u201d said Nanette.<br \/>\n\u201cAs for the kids, [Xello] is bright, colorful and engaging. We definitely get fewer questions like, \u2018What does this mean?\u2019 It takes very little explanation to get started. They can work their way through Matchmaker on their own. Students can peruse the website and tackle it on their own if they want to.\u201d<br \/>\nInspired by the ease of use of Xello, Nanette says they\u2019re working with students on a number of lessons and plan to implement even more as time goes on. \u201cIn our school, we introduce future readiness in 6th grade. We get them started on Matchmaker so we\u2019re a step ahead when they have to get started [on future readiness] in 7th grade by state mandate.\u201d<br \/>\nNanette and Lopez work with students in their health and careers class. They and the teacher present Xello\u2019s lessons and talk about colleges, majors, and careers, setting the scene for independent exploration.<br \/>\n\u201cThe kids like working through the lessons and learning about careers and colleges. They love the Google Earth feature where they can drop themselves into the campus.\u201d<br \/>\nShe says the cost of university and college educations always shocks students as they review various programs. \u201cThat\u2019s another good, visual aspect of Xello: it breaks down financial aid, housing, and other costs. We can then get into a budgeting discussion. That\u2019s a lesson we\u2019re doing on Xello too.\u201d<br \/>\nTalking to younger students about career aspirations is always interesting. Nanette notes that many of them want to be professional athletes. Without dashing their dreams, she encourages them to use Xello\u2019s Matchmaker tool to discover options for a Plan B. Even when they\u2019re not happy with the careers that come up for them, it\u2019s a launch pad for thinking about an alternate future\u2014and the strategies they need to prepare for high school.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As for the kids, [Xello] is bright, colorful and engaging. We definitely get fewer questions like, \u2018What does this mean?\u2019 It takes very little explanation to get started.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After all, high school in Riverview comes with choices. It helps for 7th and 8th graders to have a sense of the pathway they\u2019re best suited for. \u201cIn middle school, we start talking about the CTE and dual enrollment programs. It really helps when they\u2019ve already done some work on considering their future,\u201d said Nanette.<br \/>\nBack in the administrative office at Seitz Middle School, Lopez and Nanette make good use of Xello\u2019s reporting features. They appreciate having at-a-glance access to individual student progress through the program. It gives them a good foundation for other conversations, including choosing electives and their strengths and challenges in various classes.<br \/>\nSince Xello integrates seamlessly with their scheduling tool PowerSchool, they\u2019re able to use information from one program to the other. \u201cIf a student gets a class they won\u2019t want, we can look at Xello to review their interests to choose something else,\u201d said Nanette.<br \/>\nThey\u2019re also encouraged that the Xello profile will follow each student to high school when they move on from Seitz. \u201cWe like that their profile travels with them and builds out even more every year.\u201d<br \/>\nFrom an administrative point of view, Jason says Xello has been a hit. \u201cThe transition process was smooth and easy. We got great training and we all know we can reach out and have any questions answered quickly.<br \/>\n\u201cWe know we have to prepare our students for everything and anything. This is a tool that is helping us do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This small district with specialized programs requires EdTech to help prepare its students for a variety of pathways.
